Residents Parking Zone (RPZ) Policy

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, acting as the local highway authority, possesses a variety of powers and responsibilities under which it maintains and enhances the highway network.

This policy offers a framework for considering the introduction or expansion of Resident Parking Zones (RPZ) in a transparent and consistent manner across the Borough, especially in light of the growing pressure on the highway network due to the increase in motor vehicle ownership.

This policy serves as a guideline for those submitting requests, outlining the criteria that potential RPZ should meet before they are considered for further investigation. It ensures that all proposals are evaluated fairly and effectively, contributing to the overall improvement of our transportation infrastructure.
